<p>The <strong class="program">cmake-gui</strong> executable is the CMake GUI.  Project configuration
settings may be specified interactively.  Brief instructions are
provided at the bottom of the window when the program is running.</p>
<p>CMake is a cross-platform build system generator.  Projects specify
their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included
in each directory of a source tree with the name <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CMakeLists.txt</span></code>.
Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a
native tool on their platform.</p>
